armored cavalry
Mechanized mounted soldiers
Armored cavalry is a military branch that combines the mobility of cavalry with the protection and firepower of armored vehicles—tanks, armored personnel carriers, and reconnaissance vehicles.
Traditional cavalry rode horses; armored cavalry rides steel.
Units perform reconnaissance, screening, and rapid assault: The armored cavalry regiment pushed ahead of the main force.
